Hyundai Adds the HT30 Versatile CTL

NORCROSS, Ga. (July 30, 2026) – HD Construction Equipment Hyundai North America today introduced the 71-gross-horsepower (53-kW) HT30 compact track loader, which follows its introduction late last year of the 115-gross-horsepower (86-kW) HT38 CTL.

Three Configurations Available for Order

With a frame size suited for a variety of landscaping, residential contracting, municipal and residential applications, the Hyundai HT30 compact track loader is available from the factory in any of three versions: cab with high-flow, cab with standard flow, and canopy with standard flow. The HT30 cab version has a rated operating capacity of 3,028 pounds (1,393 kg), and the HT30 canopy version has a rated operating capacity of 2,900 lb (1,316, kg). All versions can lift to a pin height of 8 ft. 1 in (2,464 mm). Operating weight is 11,141 lb (5,053 kg) pounds for cab versions and 10,448 lb (4,739 kg) for the canopy version.

“The medium-frame HT30 gives customers across a range of applications the power, lifting capacity and versatility they need without buying more machine than their jobs require,” said Jason Taylor, Hyundai’s product manager for compact equipment.

According to Taylor, the number of and value of standard features on the HT30 set it apart from other competing models. Among the standard productivity-enhancing features on the HT30 are ride control, creep control, hydraulic quick coupler, return-to-dig, lift-arm float and auto-self-leveling. "These features increase productivity for newer and experienced operators alike,” he said.

The spacious, one-piece, pressurized ROPS/FOPS cab versions also include as standard many features that contribute to operator comfort and productivity, including torsion suspension for a smooth ride, heat and A/C delivered through eight well-placed vents. The heated, air-ride seat is standard, as are Bluetooth and the 8-inch smart touch display. “The operator is the most expensive ‘feature’ on the machine, and a comfortable operator is a more productive operator,” Taylor said.

Also standard are the guarded exterior LED lights – two front and two rear. The cab versions include an escort light that stays on for 30 seconds after shutdown to help the operator safely exit the cab and the worksite.

Another important feature of this new CTL is ground access to all daily service and routine maintenance points. A PowerCore™ air filter and reversible fan help keep the engine free of dust and debris and running cooler for longer life, while a tilt-up cooling module enables easier cleaning of the cooling system for max airflow. 

“With these features, contractors can rest assured the HT30 will stay productive longer,” Taylor said. He noted that Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour warranty provides an extra measure of confidence.

The Hyundai HT30 accommodates dozens of attachments, including a wide selection of buckets, brooms, grapples, augers, brush cutters, snow blowers and pushers, rakes and forks.
